nickengvall It sounds weird but part of this writing a blog post every single day for an entire year is a way for me to practice letting go of my perfectionism. Today I’m practicing being okay with not feeling like writing (and still posting). So instead, here’s a song by one of my favorite musicians that … Read more
Since today was the 24 Hour of Lemons at Road Atlanta, I was reminiscing about the car my brother concepted (I know that’s not a word but I think it should be so it’s staying) and raced with his brother-in-law years ago. The idea behind the race is “a race for everyone” and with a … Read more
In 1989, my dad took me to the Acura dealership as he was looking to buy a new car. It probably didn’t seem like much to him, nor would it to anyone else, really. For me, though, it was one of the most indelible moments in my journey as a “car guy.” That year was … Read more

While many of you know my work in the footwear industry and my addiction to sneakers, one of the other true loves of my life is the automotive world. From simply getting behind the wheel for a casual Sunday drive to the sport of racing, and nearly every aspect of cars, and the associated subcultures … Read more
Have you ever struggled to remember your ideas? I used to get so upset at myself because I would think of something that excited me and then tell myself I need to write that down or text it to myself so I don’t forget. Then, of course, I would do neither and the idea would … Read more
This little butt munch turned 3 years old a couple of days ago and despite my continued requests, she still doesn’t speak English or have opposable thumbs to help out around the house. Still cute tho! How is it possible that it’s been nearly 3 years since we picked her up from Wags and Walks … Read more
